9-1 Paper exit modes

The following two paper exit modes are available.
Ordinary mode
In this mode all paper from the printer is discharged to the paper exit tray for the printer.
Mailbin mode
In this mode the paper from the printer is discharged to its designated bin. The bin designations are assigned to users to
prevent mixing of the printed material. Any bin from 1 to 5 can be assigned as a dedicated bin.

Simple stacking mode Mail stacking mode
In simple stacking mode, the switching arm (1) is in the raised position, and the paper is ejected to the printer paper tray.
At that time, the paper guide (2) is in its home position, and the paper guide and home position sensor (3) are on.
In mail stacking mode, the switching arm (1) is in the lowered position and the paper is taken into the mailbin. The
paper taken in by the mailbin is then distributed by the paper guide (2) to each mailbin. The paper distributed into each
bin follows a route past the paper exit sensors (4)(5), paper exit roller and paper empty sensor and is ejected into the tray
for the bin. The paper guide is operated by the pulse motor. It counts the number of pulses from the home position and
stops the paper guide in the correct position.
In the duplex mode the paper exit tray for the printer or the paper exit route to the 5 bins is used to perform switch back
for the paper.
